Evil will not deceive you

Li Ke's words stunned the maid for a moment. Her blue eyes couldn't help but widen, and then she looked at Li Ke, who had a smile on his face.

Although the smile on Li Ke's face was a bit teasing, the maid who was good at observing people's emotions could tell one thing.

There was seriousness in his black eyes.

However, that touch of ridicule made her hesitate. After all, many such powerful people like to play with other people's feelings and lives at will. In her career as a maid, she has seen many people with hopes being used for various benefits. Temptation, thinking that you have gained trust and a high status, and then being abandoned in various ways.

Just like her parents and her master his family, she has seen and experienced too much.

She thought that her excellent self could inherit the official position of her family, but she never thought that her mother would value her sister more, or in other words——

Underestimating the love parents have for their little daughter.

After all, she had always been so strong and smart.

But her master was different. He thought he was talented and could do great things in the family, so he was indeed entrusted with important tasks, and then he was naturally sent to this place, the western wilderness.

She has no enjoyment and is far away from the political center. Most of the benefits she gets are handed over to the family. Even if the countess gives them this benefit, they cannot see her and can only serve as a member of the family. A rent collector.

The most ridiculous thing is that he came back from Lordaeron specifically to show off his talents, because the competition in Lordaeron is too fierce.

Therefore, the maid felt that Li Ke most likely imagined that his master would deceive the farmers, deceiving them would reduce taxes, deceiving himself.

Li Ke looked at the hesitant maid and suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot one thing, this smart maid lady."

Li Ke's smile faded and his expression became serious.

"What is your name, my dear lady?"

Li Ke's word "please" made the maid feel a little dazed. She had forgotten how long it had been since she heard the word "please". Ever since she became a maid, all she could hear were requests and orders.

The maid murmured for a moment before speaking.

"Lagertha Winnick, sir, I am Winnick from the town of Rinford."

She named her family, even though she knew no one would know it.

Li Ke was a little surprised. The name Lagertha was the prototype of the Valkyrie in Viking stories, but taking a closer look, this blond maid did look very similar to Lagertha from an American TV series he had watched. , but he doesn’t have the tough temperament of the other party.

He found it interesting and pointed to the chair opposite him.

"Winnick...I'm sorry, I have never heard of this family, but we are similar. Before I came to Stormwind City, no one thought I was a big shot, so please sit down, Miss Lagertha."

Lagertha sat down with some anxiety, because she knew that her fate and the choices she could make were given by Li Ke. She sat down on the chair with politeness and grace. This was something she had been trained in since she was a child. It came from the etiquette of the nobles.

A kind of etiquette that only people who have no worries about food and clothing would care about.

"I can see that you know words, know where these things are placed, and even know arithmetic...I think you also experienced an orthodox education when you were a child. I don't mean to offend your past, but I just want to ask if you are willing to show Your own talent. After all, you seem to know it."

Li Ke looked at Lagertha in front of him. It was not without reason that he asked this woman, and the reason was also quite tense.

The other maids and male servants all listened to her after the housekeeper's death, and this maid had a good understanding of the castle, no, it should be said to be the palace's facilities and where supplies were stored. The other maids didn't know where the maps and files were stored. She was able to find it immediately and got the dossier Li Ke needed.

This does not mean that you can take it just by looking at it, but you need to know these things very well to understand, otherwise, you will die.

This is a serious maid, and other maids who are more beautiful, or whose chests and certain places are more distinctive, do not have this ability.

But for Lagertha, this was a very scary thing. She lowered her head and tried hard not to show fear and unwillingness.

"Sorry, Mr. Li Ke, I only heard a little bit when the adults were discussing how to manage this territory. I really don't have such ability..."

She will not take refuge in Li Ke. Her family is still coming to Enfu Town, and she does not believe that people like Li Ke can persist for long, so she does not trust Li Ke or Li Ke.

There are conditions for making people loyal.

Li Ke chuckled.

He took out his sword, stood up amidst the exclamations of the other maids of the guard, and walked towards the door.

When he reached the door, he turned around and grabbed a maid.

"Who is Miss Lagertha's master? So I can kill him."

Whether it was Lagertha or the maid caught by Li Ke, they were so frightened that their legs almost collapsed, especially the woman caught by Li Ke. She couldn't even stand and collapsed directly to the ground.

"Mr. Li Ke! Please don't! I understand! I will help you!"

Lagertha staggered and fell to her knees directly. She knew that Li Ke was just asking her to help him, but if this matter spread, she would die.

So from the beginning, she had no choice.

Li Ke looked at the maid in front of him and vaguely saw Zeng Jin himself. He sighed helplessly, then took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to Lagertha.

There are two sapphires and dozens of gold coins in it, which should be enough for people like Lagertha and the family behind them.

"I don't like to use such methods, Lagertha, the money is yours, whether it's to let your family come here or to a place you think is safe, if it's not enough, just tell me. Oh, don't Go to Lordaeron, it will be very dangerous from there."

Lagertha bit her lip. She took the purse, knowing that no matter how many valid reasons she had, her master would never be able to believe her again.

So she nodded.

"Yes, Master Li Ke."

She is a smart woman, and she also knows how to make Li Ke recognize her wisdom and ability, so she opens the money bag directly here, revealing the gold coins and blue gems inside.

The whole room was quiet for a while, and even the maids opened their mouths.

Li Ke was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this maid lady would be so smart - she helped him buy a horse bone for a thousand gold.

Of course, the effect depends on Li Ke's subsequent performance.
